Saved my sanity!!, 17 Sept. 2014

Amazing!! I wish I'd found it 4 years ago for my daughter who was a total bottle refuser! My little boy is almost 12 weeks old now and I'm starting to want a bit of a social life back, or at least a glass of wine in the evening. Having happily accepted one bottle if expressed milk a day from birth, at 7 weeks he realised it wasn't the real deal and started to protest. Big time. He would have the house down if we came anywhere near him with a bottle. We tried all the usual techniques thrown out by Google- different bottles/ teat flow/ positions/ person/ time if day/ formula etc etc but the boy is stubborn. After a desperate Amazon search for 'baby feeding system' I bought this (which initially I thought was expensive, but now I'd happily give my right arm for!) and it arrived the next day- Hallelujah! There's a bit of a knack to using it and a feed takes a while, but it's smiles all round from baby and my sanity remains in tact! It's really simple to put together and if it leaks you...

Good design...less mess, 10 Sept. 2013

In case you didn't know what this was it is a cup feeder for babies. Basically if your little one is not bottle fed and is struggling with breastfeeding then cup feeding is a short-term solution. Ask your midwife for advice.

The upside to cup feeding is that your little one doesn't get nipple confusion and shouldn't get spoilt from using a fast flowing teat.

The downside to cup feeding is that it can get very messy, you have to concentrate to ensure the milk doesn't choke baby and feeds can take ages.

This Advanced Cup Feeder is designed to make cup feeding much easier as:

1) Only a small amount of feed is actively being fed to baby at any time - so less chances of flooding baby's mouth

2) A reservoir tops up the active feed when you squeeze it - so you can control the speed of feed

3) The mouth piece is very soft plastic (BPA free too) - cups tend to be hard palstic

5) The mouth piece is also contoured and shaped to fit into...

Great one for babies refusing bottle, 29 Oct. 2012

My baby completely refuses bottle.. We have tried all the possible brands available in the market like Avent, tomeetipee, playtex, breast flow, Medela Calma.. When I realised she likes feeding in a spoon, I bought this and there is no looking back now.. She is so excited as soonas she realises I am bringing this near her mouth... It's very convenient when you want to feed outside, unlike a spoon which is quite messy..A must try if you baby is one of those refusing bottles... It's a bit expensive but you wouldn't care when you find out it works!!
